Chapter 232: Don’t Make Trouble
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel disappointed with those who blindly followed feudal rules, but she could do nothing about it.
But she did it today.
Although she was reluctant to do so in her heart, in order to maintain the current order and protect certain important things, she finally chose to compromise.
Perhaps because of this, she felt that she was more like a vassal of a certain system rather than a true leader.
But she knows that some things cannot be easily changed by just saying "shouldn't", especially in today's environment. If she doesn't stand firm, she may completely lose her voice.
Therefore, even though she was conflicted, she still chose this extreme measure.
"I just moved out of the old house, I didn't die. I said you are the head of the Shu family, you should know what to do and what to say."
Zhao Chunhua's voice was not loud, but it was as piercing as a sharp blade in the cold winter.
There was a clear warning in her words, and every word reminded the other party of their current situation.
"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking," she raised her chin slightly, her eyes cold, "If you can't even handle this most basic thing, then what reason do I have to continue to recognize your status?"
Her tone was calm, but it concealed an unquestionable majesty that made people's hair stand on end.
"Don't play dumb with me. Why do you think you have the right? Is it because Shu Yanyou supports you, or because you are pregnant with his child?"
When mentioning this matter, Zhao Chunhua's face became increasingly gloomy, and it was obvious that some sensitive area had been touched upon.
She questioned coldly, her voice as deafening as a hammer hitting a wall.
"If you want to do whatever you want just by relying on these conditions, then you are too naive. Do you really think that no one in the Shu family can control you?"
After a pause, she emphasized again, "Remember, I am still alive."
Looking back on the experiences of the previous generation, even modern people like Zhao Chunhua think that the two people are quite open-minded.
Talking about the story of the previous generation of the Shu family, Zhao Chunhua couldn't help but sigh.
That great-grandmother Zhao Qingyi was indeed an admirable woman. No matter what situation she was in, she was able to accept it calmly and reach a consensus with the people around her.
Together with the then master Shu Jingxing, the tacit understanding and insightful approach between the two made it possible to resolve many complex issues.
Compared with the chaos in the family later, their way of getting along was obviously more wise and long-term.
Even from a modern perspective like Zhao Chunhua's, the way the two people deal with people can be regarded as a classic case.
They also have shortcomings, but compared with Zhao Chunhua's own parents, they are already quite good.
In fact, everyone has character flaws, even the extremely perfectionist Zhao Qingyi and the seemingly steady and calm Shu Jingxing are no exception.
They will argue due to misunderstandings and will also have estrangement at some stage.
But overall, their persistence on major issues of principle and the strength they show when each other needs support make this marriage exude a unique sense of warmth and stability.
In contrast, the original family in Zhao Chunhua's memory is full of mutual accusations, concealment and alienation.
That fragmented atmosphere is still a scar in her heart that she doesn't want to touch.
Now that she has inherited Zhao Chunhua's identity, she doesn't want to see the Shu family fall into chaos.
Since you have taken on the responsibilities that come with this identity, you must bear the corresponding consequences.
Zhao Chunhua secretly vowed to avoid repeating the same mistakes in history at all costs, and never allow internal conflicts to drag the entire family into the abyss.
Although her appearance did bring some unknown variables, she believed that as long as the right approach was taken to solve the problem, she would always be able to lead everyone to find a way out.
"Speak up, didn't you say a lot just now?"
Zhao Chunhua urged impatiently, staring intently at the figures who were still kneeling on the ground.
"If you have nothing to say, then just follow my instructions; otherwise, show me your real abilities."
Her voice exuded an irresistible pressure that made it difficult to refute.
As the words fell, everyone shrank back, but no one spoke in response, only silence spread.
The wind was blowing outside, and Zhao Chunhua asked them to go into the main room and kneel down so that she wouldn't have to suffer the cold outside.
The cold wind continued to blow in through the courtyard, giving the surroundings a chill.
Despite wearing thick clothes, Zhao Chunhua still felt quite uncomfortable standing here for a long time.
She waved her hand to signal everyone to get up and go into the house. "Come in quickly! Do you want to freeze to death here? It doesn't matter where you kneel in the end."
Upon hearing the sound, everyone quickly stood up and walked inside, moving very carefully, as if the slightest mistake would trigger a new round of scolding.
"Don't think about it, just make everything clear today. I don't want to live with you heartless people. I get annoyed when I see you."
After closing the door, Zhao Chunhua went straight to the main seat and sat down, with her arms folded across her chest as she looked at the group of people kneeling who were still nervous.
"If there is any account, settle it as soon as possible, don't try to muddle through."
Her tone was resolute and firm. "I have seen clearly what you have done behind my back. Remember how to restrain yourself in the future. As for whether I am willing to continue cooperating, it all depends on your performance."
"I can ask Shu Zhenglian to divorce his wife. If he really makes me angry, I can divorce another one."
The last sentence fell on everyone's ears like a thunderclap, causing many shudders.
Although this was just a threat, it undoubtedly proved Zhao Chunhua's determination.
A strong panic suddenly surged in everyone's hearts, because they knew better than anyone the horrible meaning behind this sentence.
"So I advise you to be good and avoid trouble," Zhao Chunhua added calmly, "otherwise you will be the ones who suffer."
"Mom, calm down. Don't get angry and hurt yourself."
As Tang Jianxi spoke, he lowered his head and pretended not to hear what Zhao Chunhua said.
However, Shu Yanyou could not just sit back and watch.
She couldn't bear to see Zhao Chunhua harm her health because of her anger.
She knew in her heart that if she didn't say a few words of persuasion at this time, the situation would probably become increasingly difficult to handle.
"Calm down? I'm afraid someone is just hoping that I'll fall ill so they can take over everything I have."
Zhao Chunhua sneered, with a tone full of sarcasm and disdain.
Her eyes swept across Tang Jianxi's face, her eyes full of disappointment and anger.
Although she said this to Tang Jianxi, it sounded more like she was talking to herself, with a hint of helplessness and unwillingness in her voice.
These words were so hurtful, like a sharp thorn that pierced Tang Jianxi's heart.
She finally couldn't help but look up, a complicated look flashed in her eyes.
